Yield spread
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In finance the "Yield spread" is the difference between the quoted rates of return on two different investments; a way of comparing any two financial products.
It is a compound of yield and spread.
The "Yield spread of X over Y" simply means the percentage return on investment from financial instrument X minus the percentage ROI from financial instrument Y (per annum).
